Can an antibiotic decrease the size of an ovarian cyst? if so, what type of cyst is likely to benefit from its use? thanks.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Ovarian cysts are not typically caused by infections but rather the normal development of an egg in the ovary. Antibiotics would have to effect on this.
